Chapter Index

    The person she first suspected was none other than Mo Yong-se.

    It may be unfair for Mo Yong-se to be suspected without any evidence, but what can he do?

    In her view, Moyongse is a place full of motivation and ability to get things done.

    And more than anything else… the Mo Yong family has a history of trying to contact Su Hyeon.

    Testimony is evidence, but is there any reason not to suspect them in a situation where such a record already exists?

    Therefore, among those sitting together, I focused on the reaction of Mo Yong-cheol, the head of the Mo Yong family… but he was not the one who showed a reaction that could be said to be strange.

    Slightly shaking eyes.

    And although it literally only lasted for a moment, his face visibly hardened.

    What gave you that kind of reaction?

    Among those present, she was the only one who could be considered a woman.

    And she already knew about the woman’s identity.

    How could you not know?

    I met him several times at places like charity parties where people related to the pharmaceutical industry gathered.

    Of course, that did not mean that the other person’s field was the pharmaceutical industry.

    It may be a situation where the party is unable to thrive, but competing with the party in the pharmaceutical industry when the party is alive and well is essentially suicidal.

    First of all, there will be no competition in terms of quality. If that is not suicidal, then what is?

    As a result, there was no pharmaceutical company in Liaoning that could compete with Sichuan Pharmaceutical.

    Even though it was a pharmaceutical company, all of the companies that existed were just so-called idiots with a scale that was embarrassing to even call a company, targeting niche markets that the group had given up on entering because they did not think it would be profitable to do so.

    Then how on earth do the other forces established in Liaoning make money?

    It’s usually one of two things.

    Make money through the mercenary business, which can be said to be a long-time staple of the Murim Bangpa… or make money by producing and supplying supplies needed by the Sacheon Group.

    And the sect to which the person who just showed an unpleasant reaction belonged clearly fell into the latter case.

    ‘I thought the group treated me well in its own way…’

    Was there a surprising amount of dissatisfaction with the group, not only because of the reaction you showed earlier that seemed like it was shocking to anyone, but also because you suddenly participated in this event?

    Indeed… I guess this is why everyone tells us not to be nice to black-haired beasts.

    They say they know that it is their right if favors are repeated, but I never thought they would go beyond the level of recognizing the favors shown by them as their rights and try to stab them in the back.

    Thanks to this, my eyes as I looked at the other person started to become cold, but since there was no benefit to showing it yet, I held back and tried to maintain the same look as usual.

    Trying to maintain the same gaze as usual… I said what I had originally intended to say.

    “At the time of the attack, I was so distracted that I didn’t notice it right away, but as time passed, I realized something was strange.”

    “···?”

    “Obviously, all materials coming into Chengdu City are under the management of Sichuan Group, but where on earth did those who participated in the attack obtain the materials used in the attack?”

    While speaking, I carefully observed the other person’s reaction with my eyes.

    Of course, I didn’t look at the person I suspected.

    If you act like that in a situation like now, it would be like giving a signal to the other person that you are suspicious of them and should cut off your tail if you can.

    Should we do that in a situation where even if we try to secure even one more piece of evidence, it won’t be enough?

    So, instead of staring at the other person, I pretended to look around and kept the suspicious person’s reactions stored in my head.

    “I couldn’t shake off the feeling of discomfort about that part, so I did some research of my own.”

    “Kuhm···.”

    “But as I was researching… I came across a very interesting trend.”

    Is this how an angler feels when he casts a fishing rod aiming for a big catch?

    I slowly waved the bait in front of the opponent, waiting for the bite to come.

    “Until I started the investigation, I wondered if someone from the family might have something to do with the recent attack…”

    In fact, that was the reason why he did not hesitate to reveal what could be seen as the family’s wealth.

    In order to elicit a raw, unrefined response from the other person, it was necessary to first catch the other person off guard, and there was no more effective way to catch the other person off guard than to bring up a topic they had never thought of.

    “The people in charge of managing the port did not seem to be the correct answer, so we conducted an investigation focusing on those in charge of managing and monitoring the road leading from the outside to the city, and found that elixirs that were difficult to obtain and mana stones worth a large amount of money were found in the house of one of the collaterals. What’s coming out?”

    That’s why I brought up what I discovered through my own research as if it was no big deal…

    “Hmm…!”

    “That’s really sad news.”

    Fortunately, it wasn’t completely rewarding to do such a thing.

    Mana stones have established themselves as a new key currency in place of the existing currencies, which have virtually lost their value as currency since the nuclear war. However, in the case of the elixir mentioned as well, it takes some time, so it is a problem. If you are strong-minded, you can use it. Is it because it is possible to find out?

    As they were busy arguing with each other with appropriate words, probably to avoid provoking this group, I could see a pair of eyes shaking as if an earthquake had occurred.

    Even if I do witness it, is it because I happened to witness it?

    What had only been a doubt a few seconds ago suddenly became a certainty.

    And after the suspicion was transformed into certainty in that way… unlike the first object of suspicion, Mo Yong-sega, the place that I thought had no special suspicion suddenly began to feel meaningful.

    ‘If you think about it…’

    In the past, Hwacheon Uigak, where that woman belonged, was famous not only for the art of medicine, but also for manufacturing herbal medicine.

    In the aftermath of the nuclear war, many factions, including the Tang family, came over from the mainland and settled in Liaoning, resulting in a huge increase in the demand for medical care compared to before, and the cost of materials that were easily obtained before the war as long as you had money became scarce. I remember that he closed down the pharmaceutical business, which was not very profitable, and went all-in on the medical business. Could it be that he harbored regrets toward my family in the process?

    So you planned this incident by secretly supporting people called Oh Dok-moon?

    If they did it for that reason, they couldn’t have been more ridiculous.

    It’s not like they threatened us with a knife or a memorized knife to get us to close down our medicine business, but they didn’t give in to us, so why did they take out their anger on such a strict person after closing down the business?

    Oh, of course, as we went all-in on the medical business after quitting the herbal medicine business, we may have suffered relatively some damage as Danga Medical Center opened and began to emerge as a leading medical institution in Asia… but in fact, it is ridiculous to blame it on us. It was work.

    We live in an era where even a single piece of biometric information, which seems very insignificant at first glance, can have tremendous value depending on how it is used.

    However, in such a situation, how many places would leave medical care entirely in the hands of other forces?

    That was literally the same as giving a bunch of money to that area, so in a way, the emergence of the Party Medical Center could be said to be inevitable.

    Hwacheon Uigak must not have been unaware of that fact, but they thought they were harmed as a result, so they supported the Oh Dok-mun bastards?

    What about the subject who maintains power with the money he receives from supplying medicinal ingredients to the group?

    How is this any different from rescuing a drowning person and robbing them to give up everything they have?

    Thanks to this, the feeling of shame was greater than anything else… but that did not absolve the others present.

    It’s just that it’s relatively less, but it’s the same thing that makes other guys feel bad about it.

    Honestly, how many of those gathered here have not benefited from our party?

    Strictly speaking, even the Moyong family, whose power can be said to have been relatively reduced as the Tang family settled in the south of Liaoning, must have benefited greatly from the Tang family.

    Even though he can’t take that fact to heart, he brought in a bunch of disgraceful bastards called Oh Dok-mun to cause this situation, and what’s more, he’s thinking of taking advantage of the opportunity while the family’s elites are away to attack the party family.

    At this point, I thought that a good thing was a good thing, but the decisions of the previous heads of the family, who knowingly or unknowingly made concessions and were considerate just because they belonged to the same political faction, felt very foolish.

    So… it would be the right choice to fix it now.

    It’s already never too late. As the saying goes, the earliest you think it’s too late, if you don’t want to experience similar regrets later, it’s better to take action now.

    And it just so happens that she has some authority.

    But is there any reason to hesitate in wielding it?

    In fact, it was done based on that judgment.

    ” Lord of the House?”

    “Hmm, why are you calling me?”

    “I would like to ask the Lord of the Council. Don’t you really like our party and Sacheon Group? How dare you do something like this?”

    What I did was to get rid of the attitude of hovering around the other person and trying to see what was going on, and immediately caught the other person off guard.

    At that very time, the Tang Soso was holding a banquet with those who were presumed to be other evil agents of the attack sitting in front of it.

    Su-hyeon, who was lying like a corpse in the entire intensive care unit at the Dangga Medical Center, took up the entire intensive care unit, and at that moment, Su-hyeon’s fingers twitched sharply.

    It was as if he would get out of bed at any moment.
